Your child


One of the most important aspects of upbringing a child is child health. A child who is healthy both mentally and physically is a healthy child. Mental health of a child has a profound effect on child health, a mentally healthy child is free from any form of mental illness. Mental health can be the capacity to relate, love, adaptation and emotional adjustments.
Love and trust is the foundation of the relation between a child and parent. Letting the child know that his/her parents will be there is very assuring for a growing child.

Children always want to know how their parents feel and react about different things around them. They want to discuss many things with their parents.

Children should be trusted, they should always be shown reason when they are doing something wrong they should be explained why it is wrong. There should be an open discussion about the problem and why it needs to be changed. There should always be a limit regarding their activities at home or away from home. Parents has can approve and disapprove the activities and decisions.

Parents should always, have to be fair in building a healthy self esteem level. A child will behave the way their parents behave with them .Never belittle them or tear them. Always try steer clear of generalization, put downs and judgmental statement.

A child health should never be compromised with anything. Giving them proper food and care is must. A child should have a balanced diet to meet the nutrient demand, supplements of vitamins and minerals are essential for their proper growth and development. But supplements should be given as per the instruction of a physician.
Self administered supplements can do more harm than benefit to a growing child.
